Barbie Notebook Netbook

16 May 2010

Samsung has released what, apparently, is a really good notebook in Korea, the Samsung X170 Barbie Edition. No kidding!

It’s an ultraportable notebook Netbook with an 11.6″, 1366 x 768 display, and Intel Core 2 DUO SU7300 processor, 4GB of RAM, 500 GB storage, a full-sized keyboard and a 9-hour battery. Specs-wise, it’s pretty good. It also comes with a lot of Barbie-related stuff such as the Barbie logo on the lid, screen saver, and desktop icons. It comes in black or pink. I’m not a big fan of pink netbooks since pink isn’t one of my preferred netbook colors, but the black looks nice.

I certainly think that there is a market for cute computers, especially those that are aimed at kids. We have seen netbooks before that were themed with Nickelodeon or Disney characters.
Samsung has a new netbook that seems to be aimed at younger girls, but sports hardware making it more appropriate for the adult user.
